On creation, it had 16 Local Government Areas (LGAs), having had an additional four carved out of the old ones.
Ekiti State is one of the 36 states (inc. Federal Capital Territory (Nigeria)) that constitute Nigeria.
Fayose became the second governor of Ekiti on 29 May, 2003, after defeating the incumbent Governor, Niyi Adebayo in the gubernatorial elections[6]. Fayose could not complete his tenure because of impeachment on 16 October 2006.
